Baby Dolls got a neat review here:
http://www.afterhourscity.com/boston/2005/10/boston_babydolls.html#more
It's very "day in the life of" - not particularly my favorite editorial style. If I wanted to read about someone's life - I'll read a blog of my friend's life - then I get to 'socialize' too. But, that said, the abstracted message is really cool - that the Baby Dolls, (and - IMO - Burlesque in general) is not about perfect women with perfect bodies doing perfect dances - it's about real women who are sexy BECAUSE they are REAL. Yes, they move well. Yes, they have snazzy costumes. Yes, they have professional theater around them - but they are not a Rockett/Gap Model perfect body type, and (like a real person) they display their individual beauty on stage. And - part of what makes them sexy is their shameless enjoyment of *being* sexy.
( more about me... after all, it is my LJ )
And... yep, I'm sick. I have a sore "tickle" in my throat, my nose is sometimes cloggy and I'm very low energy. Blech.
School is on target - from class last night, I gleaned that I'm not just 'on track', I'm still a little ahead on the project - having gotten the basic implementation done, I'm not polishing and finishing loose ends. Others are still coding.
Work - just sat through a training course. Now to flesh out the spots in my paper where "... and then... a miracle occurs..." and "Data is transported by magic fairies to where it needs to be...".
